Amazing bumper to bumper.

Our 2016 Yukon Denali has been everything we wanted in a car. It’s comfortable and the kids love it. The DVD player is a major bonus. And the dvd screen is very clear. Only thing Ive notice with these GM vehicles is the air filtration is terrible. We smell every older rig on the road. Beside that we are very happy with our purchase. The black with the led lights looks very sharp.

What we were looking for as a vehicle for our sons

Fulfilled our needs for safety, reliability, and versatility. The 4 wheel drive was very important as was the roominess and certainly the overall condition of the vehicle. The availability of quality and trusted service from our preferred dealership was an important factor as well.

Mechannically it is trash

There are serious well known transmission issues that GM is refusing to own up to (Google it). Suspension (struts and shocks) fail at 60K. Again, GM is refusing. For the money, it's not worth it.

Great Vehicle

Great room, features and performance. Well thought out design and features easy to use. Despite the large engine, gas mileage is very good especially on the open road.

Very comfortable and roomy fun to drive

This vehicle met all of my needs but I do wish the second row seating had a bit more legroom other than that it is very comfortable to drive and for the most part very roomy my family enjoys going for road trips in it.

Awesome vehicle

Love the Yukon. Owned one before and now have 1 that seats a family of 8. It is extremely comfortable and exceeds my expectations by far.

It's a Beast of a truck that is great for towing

I traded my Mercedes Diesel M350 in on the Yukon with a V8 gas engine and haven't been disappointed. For an everyday driver, the truck excels on both the highway and in the city and is fairly comfortable for a body on frame vehicle. When towing our 8600 pound camper, the truck is a beast, especially if you place it in tow mode. The integrated trailer brake controller works flawlessly and the engine will downshift on a long down hill and acts as an engine braking similar to a diesel but not quite as effective. After 55K miles, I have averaged 22 MPG @ 70 MPH in cruise with the air on. The only real issue I ran into was a leaking air conditioning line to the back that required a costly fix. This is a reliable vehicle that has served me well that I plan on keeping.

2016 Yukon denali

This has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Bought it as a lease turn in with 57K miles. In 8 months, the fuel pump went out, had to replace a $400 tail light - no bulbs and now the transmission has went out. Stay away from these vehicles.
